Hip strength is an essential component of the golf swing, as well as other sports including baseball and
tennis. One of the striking differences between professional golfers and everyday amateurs is the
strength and speed of hip rotation. Amateurs are frequently told to ‘fire their hips’ and to make sure to
‘clear the hips’ but this is much easier said than done. Hip rotation involves muscles (glutes, adductor
longus, brevus, and magnus, and the pectineus) which are very difficult to isolate and strengthen. The Speed Core was designed for this exact reason.
